We just move across the country using U-Pack as well. I got a bunch of bike boxes from the LBS, and packed the bikes in boxes without their front wheels, extra padding on the tubes, fork ends etc. I put front wheels in a separate box. No scratches or dings when we unpacked.
Pack the trailer tight, I can't emphasize that enough. Keep everything organized and stack vertically. I left just enough room on top to place the bike boxes like books, packed pictures and the TV up there as well, cleat to the roof. Use moving blankets to keep everything tight. They price the trailer to you in linear feet but you are actually buying cubic feet.

Just helped pack my brothers belongings in a U-pack for a California to Maine move. Tied his mountain bike against the inside wall and padded it to his liking. It made it but got bumped around a bit during 3,000+ miles of truck travel.
I just bike flighted my bike out and back with zero issues. If it were my bike(s) I'd either bike flight it or box it and load it. I wouldn't ship it fully assembled and covered with blankets. Just my .02.

Update:
Thanks for the advice everyone! We've been in MN for 3 weeks now and are really liking it! (It hasn't gotten cold yet though. Haha!) Anyway, the bikes were all boxed up and made it on the UPack just fine! I am really thankful for the boxing suggestions as we had a lot of the rubbing and chafing of our other stuff. We had a bookshelf (cheapo from Target) completely collapse on us. Lol! There is a bunch of bike trails here that are great for family rides! As you can see my son loves hills! Lolol!
